Abstract
Glucose turnover was assessed from [6,6-2H]glucose and [U-13C]glucose dilution analysis in six lean nondiabetic subjects, six obese patients with normal glucose tolerance, and six obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) during sequential infusions of glucose (13.9 mumol/kg fat-free mass [FFM]/min) and glucose+amino acid (4.2 mg/kg FFM/min). Cori cycle activity was assessed from the difference between glucose turnover obtained from [6,6-2H]glucose and [U-13C]glucose. During infusion of glucose alone, total glucose turnover was increased by 70% in obese NIDDM patients. Amino acid infusion decreased glucose concentrations by 0.8, 0.5, and 1.8 mmol/L in controls, obese patients, and NIDDM patients, respectively. This decrease in glycemia occurred despite an increase in glucose turnover in lean and obese nondiabetic subjects, and was due to an increased metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of glucose. In NIDDM patients the MCR of glucose was unchanged, and the decrease in glycemia was explained by a diminution in hepatic glucose output. Glucose turnover obtained by [6.6-2H] dilution analysis exceeded significantly the values obtained by dilution analysis in obese subjects and obese NIDDM patients, but not in controls. This indicates an increased Cori cycle activity in these patients.
